Good first post. You explained yourself very well. I've no issue with that you posted, and you're beliefs, just don't try and sell your convictions of faith on other.Yes, I do. I also KNOW that belief is not knowledge. The two can overlap when one believes something that is true but does not have necessary evidence proving it to be true. But when evidence does prove the truth of a belief, then it is no longer a belief. It's knowledge. I BELIEVE there is a devil. I don't know that. But things I've seen and thought about seem to be evidence. Just not in that cartoonist manner of the red horned malevolent ruler of the mythical hell.
And for those asserting that this is the wrong forum as this is a political forum, politics and religion are two sides of the same coin. They each seek control to govern the lives of others and of their society. That's politics. And they each seek to do so on the basis of what they believe to be right, That's religion. Reading the parameters given for this forum at the top, one l8sted is discussion of societal issues. How is religion not a societal issue? Or a political one? Trying to exclude it on the basis of this being a political forum is the same as trying to prevent a political foe from being on the ballot. That's politics at its worst.
